Standard factory BB86 DUB bottom brackets solve this space constraint by using tiny, sub-standard steel ball bearings packed inside flexible plastic cups. These plastic sleeves flex heavily under torque, allowing road grit to creep in and cause loud, incredibly frustrating clicking or creaking sounds while ruining the bearings. CeramicSpeed's BB Alpha solves this issue entirely. By encasing premium hand-built ceramic bearings inside thick, precision-machined CNC aluminum cups, it creates an exceptionally rigid, non-yielding interface. This completely stabilizes your DUB crank spindle, protects your frame, and ensures permanent mechanical silence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,12\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"11,12\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHow do I properly clean and maintain the bearings on this premium road bottom bracket?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11,13\"\u003eTo keep your watt savings maximized season after season, your bottom bracket should be serviced every 1,000 to 3,000 kilometers depending on your riding conditions.
